The UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 concerns inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all. Despite dramatic improvements over the last decade, progress towards the achievement of Education For All has stagnated, and in the developing world, many children are denied schooling for reasons of gender, poverty, displacement, nomadism, disability and/or ethnicity. This chapter describes the ways in which open and distance non-formal education, multigrade teaching and other alternative methods including interactive radio instruction are being used to provide basic, primary and secondary education for children, youth and adults denied opportunities for schooling in developing countries.

Social status is the first thing which is concerned by people. A person's social class has far reaching consequences. It refers to the grouping of individuals in a stratified hierarchy based on wealth, income, education, occupation and social network. Every person wants to look beautiful, to wear expensive clothes, to use branded products and vice versa. But the fact is that not everyone is born with a silver spoon in his 1 Running head: IMPACT OF SOCIAL STATUS ON YOUTH mouth and hence, puzzles himself in conflict of social status and starts comparing himself with others. In this research, I am concerned about the factors of increasing social status differences among the youth. And wants to let the people know that how unconsciously they are promoting this evil by which thousands of lives are affecting every day. This research is about whether social status really affects one's life? Does really people self-esteem affect by social status? How do people face confliction of status differences in their lives? To answer these questions, I did research which was conducted by questionnaires' collection of various data, interviews and formulating surveys from the males and females of age 19-25. For this research, university students were taken randomly as a sample for research because they are the youth and the ones who are facing the social status differences the most. The data was collected in two sections of analyzing the results and exploring the factors responsible for the impact of social status on youth in their lives. This research provides a look at various definitions of participant's observation or their personal life experiences. And how to eradicate this growing issue.

Development and modernization recently have impacted greatly on many aspect of the human society. However, youth I think the most affected by those two. In positive way, youth will have many challenging opportunities because of fast development and growing modernization. Many youth who have education advantage, financial support and skill will easily catch up with the development and modernization. In contrast, youth who have disadvantages from education, financial support and less skilled/unskilled, will be excluded from development and modernization benefit. In many local regions, those youth who doesn't have good education, no skill training and no financial support will tend to be dependent to the assistant of government. In the case of Indonesia, we have Ministry of Youth and Sport who deal with this particular problem. To some extent, many ministries such as Ministry of Education, Ministry of Manpower also have to do something on this Youth problem. Many programs were executed to deal with the youth in this category. So far, we have many training centers and sports centers to be utilized by those who in need. Many low cost training courses also run by private enterprises to fulfill the various job opportunities with least practical skill. In politics, youth also supposed to play significant role especially in term of their participation. However, from political perspective, we still face challenge with their low political participation. Therefore, challenges are still exist. Ministries and private enterprises are trying to fulfill their good work to address the challenge. This paper will be going to examine the socio political and economic impact of development and modernization to the youth, with the example from Indonesia case.

It is observed that after about 55 years post independence and secondary education (having been reformed to be goals oriented), majority of Nigerian youths are idle while some are involved in various vices due to unemployment. A good number of students who have completed their secondary education but failed to secure admission into institutions of higher learning are in dilemma because they are not equipped with requisite skills for self or paid employment. However, if a nation fails to develop (or educate) its citizenry and make them efficient in carrying out some of the activities of life effectively, then that nation is doomed to weakness, destruction and obscurity. Education, therefore, is important to the growth and development of the society because of its power to fashion an individual to be integrated into his society, and to become a promoter of his societal culture, and development. Eight main sources of vices in the lives of youth identified were: peer pressure, lack of proper parenting/home training, curriculum deficiency, unemployment, economic instability, law enforcement/judicial inconsistency, undue emphasis on certificate and corruption. At the moment a good percentage of the youths is either not in school or trained but not employable; either under employed or have become school drop outs owing to high cost of education. The training of the youths especially at the secondary school level must be a top priority if the nation must get to the top also. We must begin to explore ways of harnessing the skills and talents of young people. The more we frown at extra-curricular activities, the more we give away the youth to these vices.

By adopting Sen's capability approach this study explores certain problem with prominent interpretations of the concepts and how Amartya Sen’s capability approach can provide a conceptual framework that can overcome problems encountered by the youth. Sen's capability approach provides a framework for why it is important to foster the capabilities of youth in poverty and what is required to help these youth to improve their capabilities for life. It is argued that the capability approach can reflect the many ways that human lives are blighted and that it thus offers a promising framework for poverty analysis. This study suggests that the issue of poverty and its impact on youth and education equality can be better tackled from the perspective of capability enhancement.
